Non-date default values in date columns no longer possible with forms

RossG

I had a problem and fixed it by hiding a non-date default value in a date field as part of a form submission, but now it's not working anymore. Is this intended? This helped me avoid unnecessary helper columns, but now I will probably need them unless it's fixed.

edit: removed confusing explanation.

What about instead of leaving the column blank at the end of the formula if it is not "N/A", you have it record whatever is in the Settled column? Or am I misunderstanding what you are trying to do?
